Or maybe her past was really so notorious that she decided she would be better off living under an assumed name.

Apparently when she was just being kept on a server (in robot jail, but presumably also in whatever role she played where she was able to embezzle millions of dollars) she didn't have a name. Presumably names are a thing AIs take on for interacting with humans.

I hope Bubbles doesn't sniff those candles too deeply or she'll have visions of a Cliff Claven centaur trotting through a quarry.

It probably tells you a bit about how May has evolved as a character that my brain initially labelled her and Momo as "the two small, cute AIs". That certainly seems to be how Bubbles views them and that sort of makes me wonder just how bad May can be when most of my impressions of her are generally neutral or positive!
Regarding the gift, given that we know that strong scents invoke hallucinations in AIs, I'm thinking that those candles are basically the combination May needs for a good trip. Given May's personal preferences in terms of sex, that might make said experience somewhat disturbing for Bubbles! Still, it's the thought that counts and, if I'm right about May's motive, it's a genuinely good thought, if incredibly misguided.

Possibly not. Remember PT401X? For political reasons, he's refused a human name, preferring to be identified by his serial number instead. So, yeah, I think it is quite possible that a lot of AIs don't have human-sounding names either because they don't have any need for them or haven't interacted with enough humans to get one.
Is it cold in here?:

Archive masters, activate! Bubbles did say something about the disdain that mainstream AIs had toward her and all like her.

Who even makes candles with scents like that? Is there really enough demand for candles that smell like abandoned quarries and lovelorn mail carriers to warrant manufacturing them?
